Deep in the forests of West Virginia lies Green Bank, a remote town suspended in pre-digital silence. Home to the world's largest radio telescope--so sensitive it could detect an iPhone on Mars--the area enforces a near-total ban on cell phones and electronic interference, though restrictions on WiFi have gradually eroded. Known as the Quiet Zone, it has become a refuge for both scientists and those seeking escape from the noise of modern life. As technology begins to seep into this fragile bubble, long-standing tensions rise. What happens to a community built on silence when connectivity creeps in? And what becomes of the cosmos, once clearly heard, now at risk of being drowned out by earthly noise? THE END OF QUIET unfolds on the edge of science and society, where isolation and innovation coexist beneath the towering presence of a radio dish. Through the lives of residents and researchers, the film offers a contemplative look at the delicate balance between solitude and discovery, and the human search for meaning in a universe both vast and intimate.

Valerie Kalfrin AWFJ.org ... the payoff isn’t as satisfying as this setup promises, with little emotional sense of what’s been lost. The End of Quiet signals for our attention but ultimately seems unsure of what it wants to say. Jun 28, 2025 Full Review Alan French Sunshine State Cineplex With excellent, patient cinematography and a compelling story, The End of Quiet is a unique look at the community unlike any other in America. Rated: 8/10 Jun 19, 2025 Full Review Sara Clements Next Best Picture But “The End of Quiet” ultimately succeeds in making the invisible visible and the inaudible profound. It’s a meditation on what it means to truly listen, not just to each other, but to the cosmos and the world around us. Rated: 6/10 Jun 12, 2025 Full Review Raquel Stecher Quelle Movies The End of Quiet will get audiences thinking about their reliance on connectivity and the ramifications of modern life.
